min.)

By

showing

some

pictures

about

San

Francisco,

let

over

Step

Step

4Word

study

(12

min.)

1.

Ask

three

students

to

explain

some

new

words

they

have

looked

up

in

the

dictionary.

2.

More

exercises

to

help

with

some

important

words.

Write

down

the

words

according

to

the

given

information.

1)

If

you

say

that

someone

or

something

has

the

distinction

of

being

something,

you

are

drawing

attention

to

the

fact

that

they

have

the

special

quality

of

being

that

thing.

2)A

meansof

doing

something

is

a

method,

instrument,

or

process

which

can

be

used

to

do

it.

Meansis

both

the

singular

and

the

plural

form

for

this

use.

3)The

majorityof

people

or

things

in

a

group

is

more

than

half

of

them.

4)

When

people

electsomeone,

they

choose

that

person

to

represent

them,

byvoting

for

them,

for

example,

the

newly

elected

president

of

France.

5)A

boomin

something

is

an

increase

in

its

amount,

frequency,

or

success.

When

somebody

or

something

booms,

it

makes

a

loud,

deep

sound

that

lasts

for

several

seconds.

6)Immigrationis

the

coming

of

people

into

a

country

in

order

to

live

and

work

there.

7)

When

something

occurs,

it

happens.

When

something

occursin

a

particular

place,

itexists

or

is

present

there.

If

a

thought

or

idea

occursto

you,

you

suddenly

think

of

it

or

realize

it.

8)If

something

is

apparentto

you,

it

is

clear

and

obvious

to

you.

You

use

apparentlyto

refer

to

something

that

seems

to

be

true,

although

you

are

not

sure

whether

it

is

or

not.For

example,

George

said

no

more.

Apparently,

he

was

a

man

of

few

words.

9)

If

you

slip,

you

accidentally

slide

and

lose

your

balance.

If

something

slips,

it

slide

out

of

place

or

out

of

your

hand.

10)

If

you

mournsomeone

who

has

died

or

mournfor

them,

you

are

very

sad

that

they

have

died

and

show

your

sorrow

in

the

way

that

you

behave.

(

If

there

is

not

enough

time,

just

finish

part

of

these

exercises,

and

the

rest

is

for

homework.

Step

min.)

After

city?

(

just

smaller
